That’s the lesson this week. As a result, jaded and mentally tired me. Also, I tend to be more judgy towards things I see or hear. When you’re new to a group of people and you admire someone but the interaction happened one sided from your side, then it’s kinda tiring after sometime. I guess being part of community is good as you won’t feel alone in your journey. But sometimes it can be overwhelming. I didn’t realize it at […]

Seeing it from different angle
There were few new people joining the team I used to be part of. Sometimes I still go out for lunch with them. And one of the lunch talk was describing what I’m doing. At the end of the convo, that person summarized it from her POV and I find it refreshing. Sometimes I’m so used to describing what I’m doing to other people, to the extent of making fun or sarcastic to some extent. What I didn’t realize is, […]
悔しい (ku.ya.shi.i)
The dictionary translate it as vexing, annoying, frustrating, regrettable, mortifying I feel the translation is not hitting it 100%, but I’ll stay with frustration for now. Recently I went back to watch Gundam series in their YouTube channel (gundam.info) because I find it convenient to just click and watch from YouTube. In one of the episodes, the main character was having a dilemma after defeated by strong enemy. Then one of the role model characters told him, if you just […]
Does it really worth the effort?
In relation to my rescue, June, we went to adoption drive hoping to find her a good home. As I’m not a rescuer, more like accidental one because of her, I asked around few people about what needs to be done and so on. And it feels like opening a new world to me. Different groups or individual apparently different standard. There is no best practice. So I take all the inputs with open mind, evaluating the pro and cons […]
Procrastination
I have 2 weeks due of post which I haven’t done. If I finished this one, then I’m one behind. It’s a target I set to myself that I should do it weekly as reflection and appreciation of things happened to me that week. It’s a good memory as well when you’re flipping back the old books. Ah, this was happened during this time. It’s like Facebook Memory who give you pops up, what happened that day. Sometimes I simply […]
To give yourself a pat on your back
There was one event I joined for the first time last week, Cat Adoption Drive. I usually come as visitor than as participant. In June I rescued a cat from my block because she was new to the territory and has been chased by resident cat. Here is June’s story. It was first time for both of us to join this event. And both of us were nervous. The crowd was overwhelming. I feel lucky that we have friends helping […]
For Love’s Sake 2018 Movie
Or the original title is “恋のしずく” It looks like ordinary drama at first but I decided to give it a shot since the Japanese movie selection in Polish LOT was limited. Turned out, it’s a normal drama indeed. But sometimes there is a beauty in the ordinary. So, one takeaway from it was, you need to face your problem. Which is obvious, but it’s a good reminder. The main character and the co-star were having different problems all together. And […]
A moment to appreciate
We often forget about things around us until we don’t have it. For example, when you’re away from home, you started to think about all the food or the items you can get easily on daily basis and then you don’t have access to them while you’re traveling. (Which happened to me as I’m currently traveling for work). Or, you may also miss someone (human or pets) whom you meet on daily basis, part of your routine, then you are […]
